New Dogs, Old Tricks

Live from an undisclosed location in heat-struck Maine, Jonah gets ranty on today’s vigorous yet thoughtful Ruminant. In light of his surroundings, he begins with a few reflections on Ted Kennedy’s incident at Chappaquiddick before launching into a passionate tirade against the foolishness of the new right. In distinctly nerdy fashion, Jonah leaves no room for interpretation: There is no place on the right for racist politics, and white supremacist and anti-semitic ideas must necessarily be treated with moral outrage.   Show Notes: -The Cover-Up podcast on Chappaquiddick -The Ted Kennedy incident -Leo Damore’s Senatorial Privilege -The July jobs report -Jonah’s column on the Inflation Reduction Act -The Dispatch: The New Right Finds a Home at the Intersection of Populism and Elitism -The Economist on the new right -Kevin WIlliamson on Trump the manly man -Last Friday’s G-File on the descent of men -Rockefeller’s diet Learn more about your ad choices.
